Bayswater Waves Playground

If you’ve got toddlers and want somewhere that won’t turn into a sun-baked nightmare by 10am, this Embleton spot is worth knowing about. The shade trees actually do their job, so you’re not squinting and sweating while the little ones run around. There’s a bike track on site which keeps older siblings busy too. Being close to the pool and cafe means you can make a proper morning of it without having to pack everything up and drive somewhere else. It’s nothing flashy, but locals with young kids keep coming back for a reason.
